Scattering between electrons in the material graphene can cause these particles to flow like a viscous liquid. Such flow, which has previously been detected using measurements of electrical ...

A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

The phenomenon represents a milestone in the emerging field of ‘atomtronics’, which seeks to create a whole new class of devices that use the flow of atoms, rather than electrons, in a circuit.

On a quest to discover new states of matter, a team of Princeton University scientists has found that electrons on the surface of specific materials act like miniature superheroes, relentlessly ...

"Ohm's law states that the electrons should split at the T junction," said Professor Konstantinov, "But, due to momentum conservation, the flow of fluid should keep going down the straight path.

Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, but only ...

Electrons can behave like a viscous liquid as they travel through a conducting material, producing a spatial pattern that resembles water flowing through a pipe. So say researchers in Israel and the ...

Wires always contain electrons, even if they are not connected into a circuit, but a water pipe could be empty.

Different models, such as water flowing in a central heating system, can be used to understand electrical circuits. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

A recently developed theory, however, suggests that under certain conditions, a coupled electron–phonon liquid can form in which the electrons transition from a diffusive (particle-like) flow to a ...
